Fatal Form of rheumatism.

From the Now York Mail anu Express.
Rheumatism is familiar malady,
but Notwithstanding its prevalence
it is probable that the peculiar form
OF it that proved fatal to General 10.
gan is now heard for the first time by
many persons. Commonly, rheuma-
tism is fatal only when it touches the
heart, and that complication aside 1t
turns rather upon its fortunes than
upon any apprehension OF immediate
danger to lie. Cerebral rheumatism
is, however. often fatal in a vexy few
hours. Nobody has yet discovered
why i'm any given case this disease
leaves the Joints and assails the brain,
nor yet why this complication is 80
uncommon. Rheumatism assails par
ticularly one tissue OF the body. This
is what the anatomists call the white
fibrous tissue This tissue is the ma
terial part of all the joints; it forms
the valves of the heart and envelopes
and sustains the brain. Reasoning
simply from the acknowledged relation
of rheumatism to the white fibrous
tissue it might be supposed that the
bTain would be more exposed to its
ravages than any other organ. There
is none in which this tissue ISIS abun-
dant. Explanation OF the proclivity
ofthis disease to touch the joints turns
entirely upon the fact that these are
mainly masses of the white fibrous It's
sue which also is abundant in the
heart and its appendages. and IN tne
brain. The fact makes ne cerebral
variation a natural one. md human
ity may rejoice in the fact that for
some reason OF Other it Is q rare one.

Martyrs i'm Africa.

We are liable to think, perhaps, that
the day of persecution for being Chris
tians belongs to the early centuries
alone. But let us read the following !:
This event actually took place in At
RIGA. Roberto was Christian mem
Der of the native church council. He
was engaged in holding prayers in his
house with several lads, when the exc
cutioners suddenly appeared. All the
lads save one bolted through the thin
reed wall of the house and escaped.
Roberto remained. DO not be afraid
that | will shoot you,' cried the Chris
tian, come in and take me- They
bound him and took him, with the
young lad, to the king. 'DO you read
said Mwanga. yes Take him and
roast him. was the summary sentence.
The lad was sentenced at the same
time but was released on the payment
of a ransom by his parents. Roberto
was kept few days i9 the stocks,
then one of his arms was cut off and
roasted before his eyes, next leg was
cut off and burned, then the whole
body was burned. After the massacre
of the Christians the head executioner
reported to the king that he had never
killed men who showed such fOrtitude
and endurance and that they had pray
ed aloud to God in the fire." Can any
thing show .mOre plainly the effect of
Christianity, than when heather Afri
cans who have embraced it are willing
to die such a death as the above de-
scribes rather than fOrsake their Saw

Phenomenal Cures

No wonder DR.. Gage enjoys such wide spread

of medical science have such astounding results

brings the evidence to doors of his superior
skill in his chosen speciality. Nor does he demand
enormous fees in advance and make great prom
Uses never to be fulfilled, which sorry to
say is too often the with INSCRIPTIONS pre-
tenders who come once and never again.
On the contrary DR. Gage is frank and honest in all
his dealings, and repeats his visits regularly as
others would do if they had confidence in their
ability to accomplish what they promise. Or.
Gage has of cases in midst like the fol.

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease are physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure pain, cOntentment or
unhappiness, success failure. Health is essen
tiai to the accomplishment of every purpose while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the browning work of the Creator ;
and when this complicated structure, exquisite
ly wrought, is disturbed by disease the most.suf-
icient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician for the human body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician be equally skilled in all forms
of disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to chronic or linger-
ing diseases. DIR. E. w. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house, st. JOhnsbury, VT, has met
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means are so ample, and his resources so
abundant, that he is enabled in almost all cases
OF chronic diseases. to effect perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETABLE
REMEDIES

A Wonderfully Successful Treatment

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done more for the alienation of
human suffering and the cure of disease than DR.
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land, he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas he
further pushed his Investigations in the treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of disease-the of chronic long
standing cOmplaints-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases which were won
derful in their effects. Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up incurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the of these

Health,

Being such priceless blessing it behOoves those
possessing it to to it that it is not lost and
those who have it not, to resort to such means as
will effect its restoration. 1t becomes question,
then, what physician shall we employ Physi-
clans cannot be equally skilled in the treatment of
all classes of disease.
The common doctor, even though he has the in
clination has neither the time the facilities to
give the study to the treatment of chronic com
plants, which is absolutely necessary to under
stand their complications and their cure. He has
not seen case like yours; he feels he cannot af-
ford to loose your friendship custom he is too
proud to tell you that he knows nothing abOut the
case, and so he experiments with his drugs until
your case becomes critical and, perhaps ncurable.
On the contrary, DIR. Royce. who makes a speciality
of chronic Diseases understands your at once.
